Before I begin tonights Biggest Loser recap, I want to take a moment and mention that I live in a suburb of Dallas; I was working in the heart of Arlington, Texas this afternoon; and I have family members who were teaching in Lancaster blocks away from where thousand-pound semi-trucks were tossed through the air.

The show wants us to believe that last weeks conspiring to vote off Cassandra was the first real instance of the contestants playing the game, but we all know that the red team has long been populated by some of the most conniving people on television.

There was a groundswell of support for Adrian in the wake of last weeks episode of The Biggest Loser, but all that goodwill might have been eradicated with his behavior in tonights first five minutes.
